Inconsistent flows when choosing different routing methods

[Rishabh Srikar]

Hello everyone,

I was exploring the influence routing methods (rte_cha) have on flow rates in my model. In attempting this, I first ran the model within the Editor using Variable Storage and thereafter Muskingum. I attempted the same with the Toolbox, keeping all other parameters and setup options constant.

Attached here are screenshots of the codes.bsn and channel_sd_mon files from TxtInTxtOut folders for both routing methods from the corresponding Editor as well as Toolbox directory (hopefully communicated by the naming). As you can see there is inconsistency in the flow rates using the same rte_cha method between the two interfaces but, when using the same interface for the run, both routing methods show no difference in the flow rates.  

Shouldn't the difference or lack thereof in flow rates between the two routing methods be consistent across both software provided I'm using the same revisions? I don't know whether this is because of a mistake I've made or a bug in the versions I'm using, so I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this. 

I'm running SWAT+ Editor 3.0.5 with SWAT+ revision 61.0.1 and running Toolbox v2.1.0 with the same SWAT+ revision 61.0.1.

Best regards and thanks in advance,

Rishabh
